Video of the wake keeping and lying in state on Wednesday March 25th........

Rev Sr Henrietta who was born on May 11,1967 died on March 15,2020 during the horrific explosion that occurred in Abule Ado on March 15th

The explosion damaged the school and students were injured and she thought she had rescued all the Children,but after a head count some were missing and she courageously went back in to rescue them and did just that but the roof collapsed on her and ended her Journey on earth...

The funeral is quiet because of the Coronavirus Brouhaha but a Memorial mass will be held in her honour after the ban on funerals and weddings or gathering of a large crowd is lifted...

May her soul rest in Peace. An igbo adage says that people stand in the compound of the coward and point to the abandoned compound of the Brave. Las las death is inevitable to all mankind it is what we do in life that posterity remembers. The girls she saved will forever remember and cherish her memories.

Reverend sisters are so reverend by Catholics that if she had decided that she hadbsaved a sizable fraction and given up, no one would question her. In fact, I'm sure she may have been restrained from doing the rescuing herself. She would have been told to leave it to the gatemen and other staff but look at a woman with the heart of Christ- of service, sacrifice and love!

May you rest in peace.🙏 There is no greater love than to give one's life to save others.

There is NO LOVE greater than this, than for a man to give his life for not his friends, but someone else. This is what it means to be Christ-like. Above any preaching, above any sacrifice you can ever make. This is Christianity in action, no noise, no shouting. This is what saints are made of. What many parents won't even do for their children. In this selfish world, when people are trying to OWN the world, to GRAB the world. The society says to have kids so they can take care of you in old age. No, let us have kids so we can give our lives for them. If we love them, we should build good schools and hospitals for them, take them off the streets. The society will laugh at the unmarried and the barren. Who will care for you when old? But here, see TWO people in this category giving their lives for children who are not theirs. What selflessness. God bless her and the italian Priest that died after he gave out his respirator to a child. Bless your soul, Friar Don Giuseppe Berardelli, Bless your soul, Sr. Henrietta Alokha. You faced danger when people will run to save their own lives. May the children you saved learn this bravery. You saw them as worth saving, same thing Christ did for us. Ode to your names and your memories. Ode to your kind hearts and faithful souls. I salute you

RIP,Sister..You are a true Heroine.Rest in the Bosom of our Lord.Have no doubt you are resting in God's arm right now.God grant your family,Students,Church,and your loved ones the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
